    Tires..It's gonna come faster than you think

    This post is so timely for me! I want to buy some wheels for my 2014 GMC Yukon XL Denali, are stock wheels readily available to mount dedicated snows on or should I let the local Discount Tire sell me an aftermarket wheel? Has anyone tried General Altimax Arctic? I had them on a car and they...

    NNBS Cargo space?

    This is the primary reason why I searched for a 2014 Yukon XL and skipped a 2015 and newer ones. I'm very happy with my 2014 GMC Yukon XL Denali!

    2007 Yukon Denali XL Transmission Failure

    Doubeleive, do you think a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 would work for this application too? Is there something that would make the Dell a better choice? Thanks

    Found a 12.1 android head unit that incorporates HVAC factory system controls

    I'm the original poster, and have done a lot of research. They have been out for awhile and there are numerous youtube videos on the previous version. To my knowledge no one on this page has installed one yet. I've talked with them on the phone before, I had a couple long talks with their...

    Buying Question

    I live in Michigan and didn't want rust. I bought my 2014 Yukon XL Denali out of Texas for $8,000 less with 12,000 fewer miles than the ones I could find locally. What I discovered is that Texas has LOTS of trucks so the prices are better and of course no rust!

    2011 Yukon..Transmission shot... worth replacing?

    I would start by getting a 2nd opinion and have a transmission shop look at your truck and make sure it truly needs replacing. Dealerships seem to want to replace instead of repair, there is a possibility your trans can be repaired or rebuilt at significantly lower cost.

    New Owner - 2013 Yukon XL Denali-Very High Mileage

    In this procedure to replace the power steering fluid, when you say pump out what you can - how would you "pump out" the fluid? Thanks!

    Now that they have updated it I plan on ordering one too. First I want to confirm the rear seat entertainment still works. My kids want the screens to work!

    I agree, It's a very tempting product but I don't think it's quite where I want it to be. I'm waiting until they release a newer version.

    Found a 12.1 android head unit that incorporates HVAC factory system controls

    Quick update - After doing a lot of research I've decided to wait on purchasing one. Reason 1. They are planning on updating the operating system to 9.0 Reason 2. I am unsure if the radio can receive HD radio Reason 3. There are reports of issues with the sound level not working...

    Black bear tune anyone increase MPG???

    Shannon, I have a 2014 GMC Yukon xl Denali that I would like to learn what tuning options there are. I live in Kalamazoo, MI and don't believe you do tuning in my area. The truck is in great shape with ~ 95,000 miles on it.

    I don't have one yet but am considering it. Based on their price drop I think they are coming out with a newer model. If they release a new model running newer version of Android I plan on getting one and be the guinea pig. ;-)

    New Tires

    I called my local Discount Tire and told them about Sam's Club sale; they confirmed it online and price matched without requiring a written quote. He also told me Discount Tire is having a big sale Labor day weekend with almost the same savings. I'm getting new tires on my 2014 GMC Yukon XL...

    2014 GMC Yukon XL Denali - time for brakes, any recommendations?

    Should I source OEM AC Delco parts from Rockauto or is there something better from local stores like O'Reilys?

    Totaled 2019 LT SWB

    His truck will go to insurance auction where it's condition will be represented as part of a contract. If you swap engines and someone buys the truck at auction it will be obvious to them the engine was swapped. The paper trail leads directly back to your friend. I know it sounds simple and...

    Found a 12.1 android head unit that incorporates HVAC factory system controls

    Yes I would prefer more ram but no it includes steering wheel controls, use of current back up camera. Additionally they just released an adapter to incorporate the factory rear seat entertainment system. I like this improvement but think they may have a newer unit coming out soon as the current...

    E85...any reason Not to use it?

    I live in Michigan, come winter E85 can drop as low as 61% ethanol. I've read about using E85 test kits (glass vial) is there an easier way to confirm the ethanol percentage? Is there a website that lists when the E85 has the ethanol percentage lowered?

    E85...any reason Not to use it?

    @swathdiver - while searching for a source for E30 fuel I stumbled across this post echoing what you said about E30, thought you might find it interesting. https://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f78/how-blend-your-own-fuel-why-you-should-16411/

    E85...any reason Not to use it?

    I don't think we have E30, It sounds like mixing E85 with Premium will yield lower cost than premium and better mileage than E85. What kind of mileage have you been achieving using E30? Does it mix well in the gas tank? Thanks for the info!

    Started using E85 today ... it'll be interesting to see mileage results!

    Thanks for the info! So far my fuel consumption numbers are mirroring yours; ~ 10 mpg in the city and ~16 - 18 mpg on the highway on E85. I filled up yesterday at $2.04 a gallon - it was a considerable savings of premium's $3.24. Today gas prices have risen considerably, the same station...

    Yes I'm expecting to get lower mileage, however my understanding is that you can get more power from it.

    Started using E85 today ... it'll be interesting to see mileage results!

    Premium was $3.49/gallon and E85 was $2.15 I filled up with the E85 and reset average miles per gallon. It'll be interesting seeing if I get more power and how much fuel I consume. After filling up I reset the average miles per gallon display.
